New Semester
I have also been working with special ed staff to think outside the box for some of our students and their schedules. We have one student working in the afternoons at the Humane Society and another at Arts for Kids.
We are still working with two seniors who did not graduate last year. They continue to come in and work on Odysseyware for their credit recovery.
Schedule Next Year
I have met with Adam several times to discuss scheduling and we have taken groups to tour Port Washington, Fond du Lac and Badger High School in Lake Geneva. Our intervention/enrichment time will be a time for re-teaching, for g/t activities and a time to mentor students.
I will share via google our two options and be able to answer any questions you may have.
